I frequently get into a situation, such as a <t60 four cities opening where I'm attacked. I defend, push back and by the time they've offered peace they're practically done. But here's the kicker I have no surplus happiness. Am I better off settling for their Luxury items and Gold or just finish them off and deal with the unhappiness until I can get Circuses and Colossus(i) up?
If I do finish them off it seems like it will delay my Amphitheaters/Universities by 20 or so turns. Handling unhappiness has been a most difficult aspect of talking the higher difficulties.
